- 1Not all the blood of beasts,
- On Jewish altars slain,
- Could give the guilty conscience peace,
- Or wash away the stain.
- 2But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
- Takes all our sins away;
- A Sacrifice of nobler name,
- And richer blood than they.
- 3My faith would lay her hand
- On that dear head of Thine,
- While like a penitent I stand,
- And there confess my sin.
- 4My soul looks back to see
- The burden Thou didst bear,
- When hanging on the cursèd tree,
- I know her guilt was there.
- 5Believing, we rejoice
- To see the curse remove;
- We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
- And sing His bleeding love.
- 6Amen.
